Another feature request for budgeting

So I was thinking on the way home this evening of yet another feature
for that might make budgeting a little easier. What if it was possible
to take a scheduled item and click on it and transfer that item to the
budget?

Example:
Say you have an electric bill setup to pay monthly and you have it in at
$200 per month. If the user where to right click on that schedule and
select send to budget or something similar in the context menu, KMM
would then take that $200 and add it to the budget in what ever category
that the schedule is currently set for.

This would make the beginning part of setting up an initial budget a lot
easier for folks I think, well that is if they are using the schedules.
This could also be extended to liability, loan and credit card payments
once those items are implemented into the budgeting process.

What do you think?

-Eric

I agree that would be nice.

However, you know you can just create your budget based on the schedules, right? Just your forecast to schedule, then go to budget, select the budget and right-click, then suggest and you are good to go.

Alvaro
